Good Data • Constructivism • Problem solving approaches • Math Anxiety • Mathematical Ways of Knowing • Brain Based Learning • Social and Emotional Support • Different approaches to teaching • Challenging Curriculum • Not Just about computation • Concept mapping • History of mathematics Gatekeeping Revealed

  5. Status Quo PRINCIPLE #1: Teachers must engage students’ preconceptions PRINCIPLE #2: Understanding requires factual knowledge and conceptual understandings PRINCIPLE #3: A metacognitive approach enables student self-monitoring Donavan, 2005 Gatekeeping Revealed

  6. -1. Engage Preconceptions2. Factual and Conceptual frameworks3. Metacognitive approach to self-monitoring - How People Learn Gatekeeping Revealed

  7. Different Approaches to Teaching • Pose open ended questions • Make explicit connections • Provide multiple pathways for learning Gatekeeping Revealed

  8. Door to No Return Hard Work—Time on Task—Effort—Struggle VS Ability tied to standardized aptitude tests Gatekeeping Revealed

  9. Mathematics for Diverse Learners course • 3 week course/Hybrid • Some mathematics from proficiency • History of mathematics • Teaching methods • Research • Lesson Development • Collaboration with peers • 3 years in MAT program • Process Standards Reminders (ARRCC) • Accuracy • Reasoning • Representation • Communications • Connections Gatekeeping Revealed

  10. History of Stratification • Plato, 2300 years ago • 1890’s • 1920’s • 1890- 1940’s • 1926 • 1950’s • Plato believed that all students needed to learn arithmetic, but he reserved advanced mathematics for those who would serve as philosopher guardians. • Mathematics education as a separate field • NCTM argued for math to be a part of the curriculum • Growth in school population—perception that intellectual capabilities of students decreased • No need for mathematics in the curriculum • Education attacked for not educating for business & industry and then Sputnik • All events lead to one question: • “The questions were not only what mathematics should be taught and how, but more importantly, who should be taught mathematics. (p. 10, in Stinson, 2004) Gatekeeping Revealed
